No takers of the Lego Star Wars calendars? Obviously aimed at the younger market. Though they are bit pricey, I did think they are a good idea:

Haven't got one this year

Tends to be kinda random whether we get them or not. I am 28 now though.

Here's a picture of how ours will look come December 24th when it's complete...

Each of the little doors has a figure in it for the nativity scene on the top. Add in some sweets for the kids, boom, job done.

That is a beautiful thing. Love that some still recognise some Christian tradition in Christmas.

(in before those who proudly tell me it was hijacked blah blah blah).

There's something great about pressing through the tin foil layer and then trying to pry out the chocolate

Wouldn't be xmas without it. Oh and if it has dreadful jokes even better

The foil is always a sign of a good-quality advent calendar. Also stops the chocolate from falling out and sliding down between the plastic and the card, used to hate it when that happened.
